Hi everyone! :-)
Yesterday I managed to find a driver for my USB wireless dongle, and it is now
correctly recognized by the kernel. However, I don't know how to configure it.
The system-config-network opens up in text mode and is not very forthcoming (it
lists ethernet, ISDN and modem as possibilities for configuring a new device).
I don't know how to create an /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-whatever
manually for my wireless card. NetworkManager doesn't see the device since the
ifcfg* script doesn't exist. What am I supposed to do? (Google also didn't
help...).
The device is listed by lsusb as:
# lsusb | grep 802
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 1286:1fab Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. 88W8338
[Libertas] 802.11g
The libertas kernel module is loaded:
# lsmod | grep liber
libertas 105931 0
cfg80211 164625 1 libertas
lib80211 4194 1 libertas
How do I find out the name of the device, and how do I create the ifcfg script
properly?
Best, :-)
